Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Sound, Shetland Islands
Bath resealing across Sound and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Bath resealing in Sound without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Sound
We do not charge extra for travel to Sound. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Sound questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What else we do in Sound
Do you need bath resealing in Sound?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice

What we do, step by step

- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sound
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
